Compatibility Notes
-
It is critical to match the entire model number of your refrigerator (including suffix) — even if the old rail looks the same, mounting tab spacing, width or liner groove may differ between versions.
-
Replacing the rail will restore slider performance only if the drawer, tracks, liner and mounting rails are otherwise intact—if those are damaged, further parts might be needed.
-
Installation: Remove drawer contents, slide out the old drawer, remove old rail, install the new rail aligning mounting tabs and securing screws/clips, reinstall drawer and test motion. Use gloves to avoid injury from sharp edges.
-
After installation, open and close the drawer several times, load typical items and check that it moves smoothly, is level, and no rattling or binding occurs.
